How CO₂ and other gases trap heat in the atmosphere — and why that is a problem.
Fossil Fuels: The Primary Driver
Coal, oil, and natural gas account for over 75% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Deforestation and Land Use
How clearing forests removes a critical carbon sink and releases stored carbon.
Agriculture and Methane
Livestock, rice paddies, and fertilizers are major sources of methane and nitrous oxide.
Industrial Emissions
Cement, steel, and chemical production release emissions that are hard to eliminate.
Feedback Loops: Why Warming Accelerates
Melting permafrost, ice-albedo feedback, and other self-reinforcing cycles.
